EVERGREEN might just be a novella but it sure does pack a
punch. It is
filled with love, forgiveness, and life's many ups and
downs. Ingrid and
John Christiansen have just become empty nesters. Neither
one of them is
looking forward to the holiday season. To top it off, they
have been given
the task of being in charge of the live nativity at their
church! John really
wants to take Ingrid away for the holidays but Ingrid wants
nothing to do
with it. Just when life seems to be at its toughest,
Butter, their family dog
gets sick and needs very expensive surgery. What could
possibly happen
next?
Ingrid's sister calls. They haven't spoken in over sixteen
years. She has
always been a hot mess and has had a rough life. She is
calling to ask
Ingrid if she would take her son, Romeo in for a little
while as she needs to
go to rehab. Romeo is sixteen years old and has grown up
mostly without a
dad. Once Romeo gets there, he isn't too happy about the
situation and
misses his mom, but he eventually warms up to Ingrid and
John. Romeo
fills a deep need in Ingrid but what about when he leaves
and goes back to
his mom? Will she suffer a broken heart once again?
I highly recommend EVERGREEN to any readers of the
Christiansen
Family series, or anyone who loves Christian fiction in
general.
EVERGREEN is an awesome addition to the series and I can't
wait to read
the rest. If you haven't read the previous books in the
series, you could
read EVERGREEN as a stand alone. Susan May Warren does a
great job of giving you
enough detail as to what happened previously, that you don't
feel lost while
reading.
Filled with family and love, EVERGREEN will keep you turning
the
pages until the very last one to see what happens.
An empty nest has Ingrid Christiansen dreading the upcoming
holidays, but her husband, John, couldn’t be more excited
about this new season of life. He even has a surprise trip
abroad planned. He’s sure she’ll love it. What’s more
romantic than Christmas in Paris?
Before he can stop her, however, Ingrid agrees to spearhead
a major church project. Then their faithful dog,
Butterscotch, needs emergency surgery, draining their
savings. And then—because disasters strike in threes—an
unexpected guest arrives, dredging up old hurts.
As a beautiful blanket of snow transforms the north woods
into a winter wonderland, a deep chill settles over John and
Ingrid’s marriage. With the holidays fast approaching, their
only hope of keeping their love evergreen depends on turning
the page on the past and embracing a new chapter of their
future.
